The Black Stones posted:Brosephine is 100% right that it rains way too loving often in Zelda. Every single time i decide I'm going to climb something a little bit high it'll start raining halfway up so I have to wait it out unless I want to warp and start all over again. I seriously had it one time where it rained, I waited for it to stop. Got almost near the top and it started raining again and 5 minutes had not even passed. You can still climb somewhat effectively in the rain, but the game never explains how to you. Link slips after his fifth move, whether it's a leap or just a standard grab. If you leap just before his fifth grab, you'll cover more ground than you lose. Stamina upgrades and the upgraded climbing armor set help a lot, but overall I agree; I groaned every time it started raining while I was climbing or interested in climbing.

Tried buying Snake Pass, but got an error message that said "an error has occurred. Try again" or something. So I did and got the same message. Money had been taken twice from my account, but they have not appeared in the shop. That's pretty bad Nintendo!

Yeah it's possible to still climb if you got enough stamina recharge but it's not fun at all, might as well just look for a spot where you can light a fire and wait it out instead

That time where I was climbing a cliff in a snowy region, and then at the top was a regular area so right at the top it turned to rain and made me fall below to the ice water that made me have to restart from the island in the middle of the lake because I didn't have the Rito power yet and took some time crossing on drat Cryonis blocks.

I went to get to that far island. I was boating my way there and stopped to cyro a chest. Then I realized if you really want to you could brute force it the whole way with cryo. What a good game.

I honestly wish the Zora suit didn't let you swim up waterfalls and they just made you use Cryo to climb waterfalls more because that was a cool use of the ability and made me feel great when I remembered that.

I got that early, I think you are supposed to get that early if you follow the main quest and go for the closest dot. But some goon just said they only have the western map uncovered. Which is kind of mind blowing to me. They wont get that until 100 hours in. Super good. When I play again years from now when I forget stuff I will run straight for Rito. Because hell yeah exploration aid.

Yeah but I just wish it didn't do that at all. takes a really cool use of cryo away. Like using cryo to make a small perch at the bottom of a waterfall and using Revali's gale to climb it instead.

Hey all, I just wanted to take a moment for a public service announcment: Don't Buy off the Amazon Market Place. After a failed attempt to get one after waiting about an hour at my local GameStop I decide to bite the bullet and buy one from a third party through Amazon’s Marketplace. When I looked at the prices however I saw that the current cheapest Switch for sale was going for about $280. It did seem strange to me that a hard to find item like the Switch was going for less than retail price. Nevertheless, I decide to buy it. A few days later I decided to check the current status of it and saw that the seller did not give me a tracking number. I then decided to contact the seller to request the tracking number, but I then saw the seller now had a customer satisfaction rating of one star. I checked the customer reviews and saw that all the reviews said that the seller was a scamming them, never actually sending the Switches at all despite sending out notifications that they did. I then called Amazon up and explained that I ordered a Switch from this person and was now learning that I might have been scammed. The rep I was talking to said that she could send a letter the the seller saying I was demanding to see a tracking number for my Switch, then if I still didn’t have the number in two days to call again and they will go from there. However the next morning I got a email from Amazon saying my money was being refunded in full. This was over the span of about five days and all I have to show for it is disappointment once again that I won’t be getting a Switch. I did a little research and saw that scammers flooding the Amazon Marketplace is not a new problem, especially with high demand items like the Switch. Here is how this particular scam works. 1: Post a listing for a item at less than retail cost and wait for someone to buy it. 2: Send the notification to the customer that their item is on the way but don’t actually send anything. 3: Hope that the customer remains obvlious long enough for Amazon to send the scammer the money from the sale. This usually happens every fourteen days so the scammer will tell the customer to expect their item in about fourteen days. 4: If step three is successful, The customer will then realise they just got ripped off and go to Amazon to demand a refund. Which Amazon will have to pay out of their own pocket for. The whole thing has just made me angry. Maybe it is my fault though for thinking I could just buy a Switch for under $300. Maybe it’s my fault that I thought it would be unnecessary to preorder a Switch, because why would Nintendo treat the Switch the same as the NES Classic or the Amiibos. I could also try again to buy off of the Amazon Marketplace but as I write this, the current lowest listing for the Switch is $149.97 and the next ten or so listings are under $200. There is no way any of these listings could be real, right?. Either a massive defect has been discovered in the Switch that would cause the demand for these things to plummet or Amazon has a massive issue with what goes on on their own storefront. Last I heard the desyncing with the left Joycon wasn’t that big of an issue so I’m willing to believe the latter. So, yeah. Stay off Amazon Marketplace.

^^^ Don't want to be an rear end in a top hat. But that the hell are you thinking? Can't find one of these anywhere, all sold out, but here's one below cost!!! No red flags there? Glad you got your money back and I have been interested to see how amazon handles scams. I sell games on there occasionally and it pisses me off that its getting a bad reputation.

"Maybe it's my fault I fell for an obvious scam." Yes. It is. I don't mean to poo poo on you but seriously, this is your fault. I'm glad you got your money back but the fact you fell for this perpetuates these scams until Amazon can figure out a way to shut this poo poo down. Which is doubtful.

Norns posted:I use rain as an excuse to cook the grocery store load of ingredients i carry with me. I do this, too, but I still wish there was something that could help you climb even in the rain. Like how in the Wind Wake HD remaster they added the red sail in. All I need is some kind of climbing gloves or mountain boots, Nintendo. Don't punish me with your stupid rain when I'm trying to climb. This would be an excellent addition to a season pass DLC, Nintendo.

I guess it hasn't really been an issue for be at all since I did the Rito quest. After that the places I had left to explore were desert, volcano, and tundra, where rain just didn't happen. Then if it was raining and I needed to get up, I had something for that.

Empress Brosephine posted:Maybe Nintendo should fix their boring broken climbing system instead of charging us to fix it. And yet as I play Horizon Zero Dawn, and my person cant get over a chest high wall, I wish to all the nerd gods in existence for the Zelda climbing system. It could be improved but its not broken and its very refreshing and I never new how much I would miss it now that I'm doing "walk around until you see the path you are allowed to go" poo poo tier puzzles in lauded Horizon. CharlestheHammer posted:The funny part is he is considering falling for one again. Yeah that's the part I can't fathom. "On the one hand I can find them anywhere. On the other hand there's joy-con issues so supply and demand means I should be able to find one for half price...."

Do I wish you could climb every mountain like in Zelda in Horizon? Yes, but Horizons system is way less annoying and unobtrusive because you'll actually know you'll be able to get where your going if you go the right way instead of having to gamble with a rng system and be forced to not play the game.

Zelda climbing has no rng? Unless you mean rain, which you can see 10 minutes into your future on the hud at all times.

The right way being an awfully hard to see white handhold on snowy mountains, I loved Horizon but holy poo poo that climbing needs an overhaul easily the worst part of the game (no wait it was the stand around waiting for audiologs to finish lore drops). Even if they had an option to make them bright red or another distinctive colour.

Rain isn't that bad for me. I just get under a tree and start a fire to cook or wait. If i'm mid-climb I'll just put down the controller or console and go grab a ginger ale or take a quick smoke break. I guess it could ruin your immersion. I've done my fair share of climbing. Mostly the rain starts right as I'm about to grab the wall.

Oh I agree but atleast I don't have to sit there and wait like in Zelda, I can actively figure out the problem or run around. With Zelda you just have to wait unless you want to spend ten minutes running around to the other side.

Junkie Disease posted:Hmm I saw rain as a challenge Also, it makes certain weapons better or worse, makes certain critters and things appear, and it's not like you can't climb if you do the 4climb1Jump technique. It limits your climbing earlier in the game but less so later, so regardless of what direction you go in it puts higher things more out of easy reach and that is a good and clever mechanic The one thing I haven't really liked and wasn't at all clever was just being stopped by an invisible wall and told NOPE at the map edge. Why is there obviously walkable land and no contrived story reason to stop me? Just nope. That was lazy and the only thing I can say that about so far (100+ hours in )

I've been playing Horizon after Zelda, the fact that I can't just climb poo poo is irritating. Also, all the climbable stuff is yellow, and isn't very noticeable. It's loving dumb, and Breath of the Wild is a better game.
